Awesome, dude! Glad to hear that you are starting to understand how all of this works :-). It can be a lot of information to understand, it's a pretty simple system once you understand it, but that can take some time and effort. You should read the whitepaper at www.steem.io that is a good way to understand.

I look forward to seeing some quality posts from you! I'm sure others will like to see it as well. If you steadily post quality original content and interact with other users, you will gain a following and of course get more rewards!

Good luck to you, man!
